I'm a noob to saltwater fly fishing and found this book to be a tremendous help in making the transition from fresh to salt. Not necessarily in the sense of specific areas (OBX, NJ surf, etc.), but with an overall understanding of saltwater fishing.

Well I second guessed myself because of the wind on fri and decided to do some trout fishing . Boy was I wrong there was 3 full out blitzes at Ibsp on fri of blues and bass right in the exact spot I planned on fishing. I've never been so mad at myself for something fishing related eeerrrrrrrrrrrrr .my blood was boiling . I had to pound down some Guinness to drown away my sorrows

I use the same wff line that I use for steelhead, a leader with a 12 lb tippet and clousers and deceivers. I tied the flies, of which I have maybe 2 dozen, in one weekend. I often use my clear intermediate line (preferable) which I picked up on the Orvis site for less than 30 bucks. Cabela's makes on just like it. You are closer than you think to just driving till you hit beach and throwing it out there.

Thanks for the info.

I'd be happy to borrow your gear on a trip over there with you. I just can't swing any week days. Work isn't giving any time off until christmas.

Don't be afraid to use your freshwater gear for the salt. I used my 9ft 8wt this past summer in the OBX and it performed fine. WF floating line worked well in addition to a clear intermediate tip line all got the job done. I serviced my gear with great detail after the week and all is well!

If I were "salting it" a good bit, I'd look at buying salt-resistant gear (reel, etc.), but for a couple times a year, freshwater gear works well.
